The tearful eyes had no control over love; the fire ignited by love could never be extinguished.

In this couplet, the poet plays with the classic contrast between water and fire to show the absolute power of love. While worldly fires are easily extinguished by water, the tears flowing from a weeping eye ('deeda-e-tar') stand helpless before the flames of passion. It is a tender confession that once love sets the heart ablaze, no amount of sorrow or weeping can ever put out that fire.
